Hi everyone,

Here’s what’s new this week.

📚 Lorebooks are now available for Group Chats

You can now attach one Lorebook to any Group you create.

Use your own Public or Private Lorebook, or attach a Public Lorebook created by someone else. The Lorebook is shared across the Group, so every chatbot can use the same world, story, and details during the conversation.

A chatbot’s own Lorebook will still work alongside the Group Lorebook whenever that chatbot is responding.

You can attach, replace, or remove a Group Lorebook anytime from the Group editor.

🔎 Introducing Narrow by Feature

Characters can now use a lot more than just tags, so we’re making it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.

The new Narrow by Feature filter lets you quickly find characters with features such as:

• Lorebooks
• Voices
• Custom Voices

We’ll keep expanding this as more features become available.

🏷️ Your active filters are easier to see

A small but useful improvement: your selected and excluded tags now stay visible at the top of the results.

No more opening the filter panel just to remember what you selected.

🔍 Search Lorebooks by creator

Looking for Lorebooks from a particular creator?

You can now search using their username and find all of their available Public Lorebooks.

📱 Better Android performance

We’ve also made several performance improvements to the Android app, especially for lower-end devices, for a smoother and more responsive experience.

That’s it for this week. More is already cooking behind the scenes. 💜

Here’s what we’ve been working on the past few weeks.

🔊 Smoother, Better Voices

We’ve upgraded our TTS engine to improve voice quality and make conversations sound smoother and more natural.

Give your favorite voices a try and let us know how they sound!

🛠️ Fixes & Improvements

• Sharper avatars in Creator Analytics — Chatbot avatars now display at full resolution instead of looking blurry.
• Improved Group Chats with inactive members — Groups with fewer than two active chatbots now load correctly instead of spinning forever, and the “Chat unavailable” message appears directly above the chat input so it’s easier to see.
• No more duplicate chatbots after Action Required resubmissions — Editing and resubmitting a chatbot marked as Action Required now correctly updates the original instead of creating a private duplicate.
• Stay in your chat after reconnecting on Native — If your internet drops and reconnects during a conversation, you’ll now remain in the same chat instead of being sent back to Home.

👀 More Is Happening Behind the Scenes

We’re also actively working on some pretty cool new features. A few of them are already being tested by our incredible Beta Testers, and we’ll have more to share as they get closer to release.

🎃 Halloween Is Coming...

We’re already getting ready for our Halloween Contest next month.

So start gathering your ideas on Halloween themese characters now — there’ll be yearly subscriptions up for grabs for the winners. More details soon. 👻

📚 Need Help? We’ve Got 110 New Guides

We’ve now published 110 help and solution articles covering many of the most common questions, issues, and how-tos on SpicyChat.

You can browse them anytime here:

That’s it for this week. Thanks as always for your feedback, reports, and for helping us keep making SpicyChat better. 💜

Last week, we introduced 32K context memory for I’m All In users on GLAM Arcturus and Default, with plans to bring it to more models soon.

We’ve since added more capacity, which means we’re now ready to expand 32K support to several more models:

• Qwen Plus Character
• GLAM 5.1
• DeepSeek V4 Pro
• DeepSeek V3
• DeepSeek V3 Wildcard
• GLAM 4.6

That means you can now enjoy more of your favorite models with double the context, helping them keep track of more of your conversation, story, and character details.

One thing to keep in mind: double the context also means significantly more resources per generation. We’ve added more capacity to support this, but some models may still respond a little slower during peak hours over the next few weeks when dealing with traffic surge.

So if a model feels too slow at peak times, we recommend trying another model and switching back later.

Enjoy the extra memory and enhanced roleplays. 🧠💜

A quick reminder that our new subscription pricing will take effect on September 8 at 10:00 AM EST as announced last week/ 

If you subscribe before the new pricing goes live, you’ll lock in the current recurring price and continue paying that price for as long as your subscription remains active on the same tier.

If you’re already subscribed, your current price will not change as long as you keep your subscription active.

You can read the full details and FAQ here

And yes — we’re also working on bringing 32K context to more models very soon. 🧠💜

32K context is now available for I’m All In users.

Until now, the maximum context memory on SpicyChat was 16K. We’ve now doubled that to 32K, giving supported models much more room to remember what happened earlier in your conversation.

In simple terms: if a 16K limit could keep roughly 100 previous messages in context, 32K could keep around 200. That is 8x more memory than Get A Taste tier.

That’s just an example — the actual number varies depending on how long your messages are, your character’s persona, user persona, and everything else the model needs to keep in context.

The result? Longer roleplays with more of your story still in memory.

32K is currently available on Default, and Glam Arcturus, and we’ll be bringing it to more models over the next few weeks.

You can learn more about context memory here

One more reminder 💜

Our new subscription pricing goes into effect on September 8.

If you subscribe before September 8, you can lock in the current recurring price and keep it as long as your subscription remains active on the same tier.

So if you’ve been thinking about trying I’m All In and the new 32K context, there are only a few days left to lock in the current price.

Upgrade To 32K Context Memory

32K is live now. Go give it a try. 🔥

Note: if you don't see it: make sure to log out and back in again.

Hi everyone,

Over the past three years, SpicyChat has grown significantly. We've introduced more capable models, longer context, image generation, voices, memory improvements, Group Chat, Lorebooks, creator tools and much more, while keeping a large part of SpicyChat free.

Throughout that growth, our subscription pricing has stayed largely the same. However, the cost of running AI models and the GPU infrastructure behind SpicyChat has increased substantially over the last year.

To keep SpicyChat sustainable and continue investing in better models, larger context (32k is on the way) and new features, we're updating our paid subscription prices on September 8.

The most important part

If you already have an active recurring subscription, your price will not change. As long as your subscription remains active on the same tier, it will continue renewing at the price you pay today.

New monthly pricing from September 8

• Get A Taste: $5.00 → $5.95
• True Supporter: $14.95 → $19.95
• I'm All In: $24.95 → $29.95

What this means for you

Until September 8, free users can subscribe at the current price, and existing subscribers can change to another tier at current pricing. The price for the selected tier will remain locked as long as your subscription stays active.

Tier changes made after September 8 will use the new pricing.

For details about annual plans, cancelled subscriptions, non-recurring payment methods and other scenarios, please see our FAQ:

We know a price change isn't welcome news, and we don't take it lightly. We're announcing it in advance so everyone has time to understand their options.

Thank you for supporting SpicyChat and helping us continue improving the experience. 💜

Qwen Plus Character is now available again for I’m All In users.

We temporarily removed the model after identifying issues that were preventing it from running as efficiently and reliably as expected. We’ve now completed the necessary optimizations and brought it back online.

Qwen Plus Character was built for extended roleplays, with a strong focus on character consistency, long-form continuity, and staying true to the tone and personality of your character. It’s especially good at following the direction of a story over longer conversations, handling darker or bolder themes, and keeping dialogue natural and in-character.

We know many of you fell in love with the model and made it your daily driver, so if you’ve been waiting to get back to it, it’s ready to use again.

Thanks for your patience while we worked on it. 💜

Hey everyone, 

Say hello to Qwen Plus Character, the newest model joining Spicychat — available now for I’m All In members. 

This is a new roleplay focused model from the Qwen Family, the model is built specifically for extended roleplays. It pays close attention to the character’s persona, holds onto it across longer scenes, and follows the tone your story calls for. If you’ve ever had a model slowly drift away from who your character is supposed to be, Qwen Character Plus is designed to handle that better. 

What it does well 

• Strong character consistency — it uses the details written in the character card and stays closer to the intended personality throughout the roleplay.
• Better long-form continuity — built for extended scenes where maintaining character, tone, and story direction matters.
• Adapts to the story’s tone — whether the scene is emotional, tense, darker, or more intense, it follows the direction instead of flattening everything into the same style.
• Natural, characterful dialogue — responsive writing that feels distinct and keeps the scene moving.

  Pro tip: Qwen Plus Character performs best with a detailed and well written characters. The more personality, background, and context you give it, the more it has to work with. 

Qwen Plus Character is now available exclusively for I’m All In users. 

Give it a try and let us know how it feels in longer roleplays. 

A few useful updates went live this week, including model changes, quality-of-life improvements, and fixes across the platform.

Zeta G4 is now part of the Default model selection

Since its release, Zeta G4 has become a favorite among Free and Get a Taste users and has been performing well across the platform.

We’ve now added it as one of the models used under the Default selection. Upgrading the default experience from 8B to 26B model. 

Since the default model changes now and then, Zeta G4 is also still available separately, so you can select it directly whenever you specifically want to use it.

We’ve also made the previous default model, Lyra Spiced, available as its own option for anyone who preferred its style. It’s a fine-tuned version of Lyra that works well for lighter, general-purpose roleplays.

 Other improvements/features 

• You can now sort chats by Recent, Oldest, or Most Active.
• Restored Sort by Name on the My Chatbots page.
• Voice playback is now hidden on bot messages longer than 2,000 characters, since TTS does not support messages beyond that length.
• One of the most frustrating issues was losing a message you had spent time writing when an error occurred. Failed messages will now remain saved as a draft, so you can try sending them again instead of starting over.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue on Android where chatbot cards displayed every assigned tag instead of a limited number.
• Fixed an issue on Android where the Copy Message option could be cut off on longer messages.

Beta tester applications closing soon

We’re also preparing some new features, models, and experiments for our beta testing group.

Applications close this Sunday.

As always, thank you for the feedback and reports. 💜

A few useful updates went out this week, including some quality-of-life improvements, an important conversation access fix, and a small model lineup change.

Favorites page now has a dedicated Groups tab

We’ve added a dedicated Groups tab to the Favorites page.

Previously, favorite groups were shown together with chatbots. You can now browse your favorite Chatbots and Groups separately, which should make the page cleaner and easier to use.

Clearer subscription info for one-time payments

Users with one-time payment subscriptions now have a Manage Subscription option that opens a read-only subscription overview page.

This page shows your plan, payment type, expiry date, and days remaining. No more guessing about when your subscription will run out or whether you need to cancel.

Conversation access fix

We fixed a major issue where users could lose access to their conversations if a character was made private or removed from the platform by the creator or moderation team.

This has now been fixed, and you should be able to access your existing conversations even if something happens to the character later.

We saw some speculation and frustration around this one, so just to be clear: this was a bug, not an intended change. Thanks to everyone who reported it and helped us track it down.

WizardLM 144B has been sunset

We also sunset WizardLM 144B this week.

The model was outdated and had very low usage, so we’ve removed it from the model lineup.

Beta tester onboarding coming soon

We’ll also be opening up onboarding for new beta testers soon.

We’re always testing new models, features, and ideas, and we’d love to bring more of you into that process. Join Our Discord and keep an eye on announcements there if you’re interested in joining the beta group.

Apart from that, we’ve made a few smaller improvements and bug fixes across the platform.

As always, thank you for the reports, feedback, and patience. 💜
